I have been a Gazette reader since my early teens and I am now nearly 48 years old. Over the many years I've never read two stories that have not only revolted me but left me feeling disgusted at someone's behaviour.

The stories in question are the ones about the women - and I stress women as they don't deserve to be called mothers in my eyes - Kelly Ann Rogerson and Elaine Walker.

Elaine Walker clearly has no intention of coming back to Britain and, if she did, she should be prosecuted and jailed; as for Kelly Ann Rogerson, she has come back to Britain so she is slightly not as selfish as the other woman.

In your coverage of this story it states no harm seems to have been done to the three children she left in the care of a teenager. However the children, when they are grown up, will be asking themselves why did their mother just go on holiday and not take them?

Let's face it, most teenagers can't even take responsibility for themselves, never mind trying to look after three small children.

So Kelly Ann Rogerson goes to court on September 1. Well all that I hope is she is sent to prison for at least two years which will give her just enough time to mull over her actions.

It will also send out a clear message to other women, being a parent is a full-time job, not just something you do when you can be bothered.
